On Twitch, streamer Tyler “Trainwreckstv” Niknam has become one of the top 10 streamers in 2022 with gambling streams. Now he says: 90 of the top 100 streamers on Twitch would rely heavily on viewbots to boost their viewership. That’s why they’re so obsessed with him.
Trainwreck says: In a December 23 livestream, casino streamer Trainwreck explained:
I have the impression, and I am sure, that at least 90 of the top 100 are obviously viewbotting – not just a little bit, we are talking about massive viewbotting. […] I mean, it all makes sense now. Of course, this could also be some imaginary schizo shit, maybe that’s how I’m trying to cope, but for all I know, no, probably not.
I’ve been wondering for so long, why are streamers that are as big as me or have 20,000 average viewers more than me, why are they so scared of me? Why is there so much talk about me behind my back?
Trainwreck explains why big streamers are interested in him because the only reason the “brand-friendly shit losers” care so much about him is because they’re not as big as they seem.
Trainwreck, as someone who heavily promotes gambling, is considered a streamer who would never be an advertising partner for large, established companies.
The German YouTuber ApoRed also had the problem.
“Not logged in viewers” as evidence of view bots
Why does Trainwreck think so? The streamer says he has access to “not-so-user-friendly, very cody” pages that give him more stats.
According to the statistics:
Trainwreck believes viewers who aren’t logged in could be viewbots because Twitch doesn’t offer a good experience when you’re not logged in, especially on mobile.
As such, he believes some streamers “won’t be as big as they seem.”
Trainwreck says he doesn’t even think all streamers intentionally cheat. He says: Some might also have crazy fans who want to help their streamer with Viewbots to be more successful.
Twitch: Who were the first successful streamers?
How is this discussed? It’s believed on reddit that Trainwreck himself used view bots to make his casino streams, which earned him massive amounts of money, look big and successful – and is now projecting his own misdeeds onto others.
Another explains: Other streamers have focused on Trainwreck because he attracts “impressible young viewers” to online casinos through his Casinos streams. As a result, many wished he would stop.
A third added: It’s not that big Twitch streamers are obsessed with Trainwreck, it’s the other way around, and Trainwreck is obsessed with other big streamers, most notably HasanAbi and Pokimane.

That’s behind itr: Viewbots are actually a difficult topic on Twitch because it is difficult to see through. It’s quite possible that one or the other has found a way to improve his viewership.
Anyone surfing the web will have received emails that beautifully promised them more followers on various platforms for a small fee, but oh well.
Trainwreck is currently building its own streaming platform:
